Kodiak Brown Bear

All of photos in this folder were taken on a sedge flat at the mouth of an unnamed rover across from Amook island. We arrived at this location by boat after a float plane ride to Munsey's bear camp. So the route was plane from Anchorage to Kodiak, Float plane from Kodiak to Munsey's, Large boat 1.5 hrs then a small boat for 15 min, followed by a 1 mile walk on the coast in waders including crossing a 2 ft deep fast moving stream. We had lunch sitting in the grass surrounded by bears, it was a gas. While these photos are indeed of the famous Kodiak Brown Bear, they arn't of the big guys. The salmon run was late and while we did see about 12 bears, they were only 3 to 5 years old feasting on the grass and waiting for the Salmon.The big bears will come down when the Salmon come in. Well maybe next time
